The book of Revelation contains many hidden mysteries that often prove difficult to unravel until God opens one’s eyes in study. As Bible students, it is important to approach the Bible with a sacred reverence and perseverance. We come into the presence of God to hear His voice. If we are full of thoughts of our own, we may mistake those thoughts for His voice of truth. But we want to listen carefully to His word and hear when He makes linguistic connections that show us a bigger picture of the fulfillment of His prophecies. Nothing He does or says is without significance. He chooses His words carefully, and they are full of instruction. You will see an example of that in this article as we consider the text of the seventh bowl of God’s wrath!

So, as we study His word with the heavens to understand the time, we must take care to hear only what He is saying, even when our prior conceptions may lead us in a different direction. His ways are higher than ours.

Until recently, we had understood that the Great and Marvelous Sign would point to a single, literal day when the seventh bowl would be poured out, which we related in our videos and articles. Initially, we had proposed that God’s wrath, unmixed with mercy would be poured in a flash upon the unrepentant on June 22, after the righteous of all ages would have been taken away in the final rapture on June 20/21. However, when we looked carefully again at the text of the seventh bowl, we identified a clue that we did not recognize before, and it shows that its hour is unique in a special way:

And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great. And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath. (Revelation 16:18-19)

The text indicates that during the seventh bowl-hour, beginning when the moon left the region of Orion on May 28, Babylon comes into remembrance before God, and it is divided into three parts. God often expresses Himself with multiple meanings in the same words, and we can use related biblical passages to discern what He wants to convey. While we would not see this division in three parts as a literal, geological fracturing of a city, we naturally tend to understand it as a geographic or a demographic division, where ideological groups isolate themselves from the rest.

For example, Babylon’s financial arm—the United States—is currently being divided by Elon Musk, as he has promised to form a third political party that would occupy a substantial middle ground between the existing two-party system. And this development occurred during this time frame of the seventh bowl, fitting to the prophecy.

However, there is another kind of split possible, and even connected thematically a little later in Revelation: a temporal division. If God is cleaving the time of Babylon’s collapse in the seventh bowl into three parts, we need to consider what that looks like. We might immediately think of chopping the hour already indicated (May 28-June 25) into three parts that are a third of the original size, as with a vegetable, but there is another example of division in nature with a remarkable twist: cell division. When a cell begins the process of division, it first gathers enough nutrients and internal structures to support two cells, so that when it splits, it is equivalent to a duplication of the original. Similarly, Babylon is amassing iniquities and forging plans that are sufficient for the temporal split to be, in this case, a triplication of the hour. Now compare this with the fall of Babylon as described in Revelation 18:

For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities. (Revelation 18:5)

The same language is used as in the seventh bowl (Revelation 16:19), when Babylon comes in remembrance before God. This association leads to more insight about the division into three parts when we consider the rest of Revelation 18. Indeed, there is a clear delineation of this temporal division as the bulk of the chapter describes the fall of Babylon in three hours, each terminated by a related exclamation:

1. “for in one hour is thy judgment come.” (v. 10)

2. “For in one hour so great riches is come to nought.” (v. 17)

3. “for in one hour is she made desolate.” (v. 19)

These are the three temporal parts—which correspond to three sequential hours—lunar orbits around the Mazzaroth clock—so roughly June, July, and August.

Reward Her Double

Another measure of time used in Revelation 18 in relation to the judgment of Babylon is “one day”.

Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her. (Revelation 18:8)

This day is related to the day of the Lord mentioned in the Bible as the time of the executive judgment on Babylon.

Behold, the day of the Lord cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it. (Isaiah 13:9)

We had recognized that the Great and Marvelous sign pointed to June 25, when the seventh bowl was to be completely emptied out. It seemed to suggest one single day when all seven of the planet-plagues would be poured out at once in the fierceness of God’s wrath, which could be understood as rewarding her double after the moon would have acted as the six bowls already emptied.^[1] However, if we are to understand Revelation 18 as being fulfilled generally during the timeframe of the seventh bowl, then her plagues—the double reward—should all fall within those three lunar hours of Babylon’s fall, rather than on one literal day.

Now we can see more clearly that the day of the Lord is not a literal day at the end of the Great and Marvelous Sign, but indeed refers to the 70th Jubilee year that began at the end of March, 2025. Within this day (year) of the Lord, all Babylon’s plagues will fall, and she will be brought to utter desolation.

Her sins must be rewarded double: one set was in the outpouring of the lunar vials as described in the video, The Last Countdown Part II. Now the second set is in the outpouring of the planetary plagues as they each pass Orion—more precisely defined by the crossing of the galactic equator. This matches the pattern set with the earlier cycle of plagues noted in the Great and Marvelous Sign.

Indeed, the outpouring of the planetary plagues all fall precisely within the extended time frame of the seventh bowl as shown (from Israel) in the picture below:

The astute student will recognize that while we considered K2 as a plague marker during the Great and Marvelous Sign, we do not include it in this sequence, even though it crosses the galactic equator during this time. This is because it represents the Great River Euphrates, which was dried out on June 4 and is no longer a flowing stream! The prophecies, especially at this time, are intricately interwoven and interdependent, as only God could orchestrate with His infinite wisdom.

A Plague on the Earth

With this final outpouring, the plagues follow in quick succession, but so far, their impact has been pronounced. On June 8, when Mercury was the first planetary plague to cross the galactic equator, we saw the Federal deployment of the national guard in California, as Los Angeles riots grew violent with rioters setting cars on fire in multiple locations. Recall how Los Angeles was also burning when the first bowl of wrath was poured out as we reported. Trump’s call to restore order and “liberate Los Angeles” was a harbinger of civil war that is looming over the US with the loosening of the four winds of destruction. Indeed, “the angels” are being liberated as the trouble continues where the image of the beast gained tremendous international influence.

And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image. (Revelation 16:2)

In the video The Loosening of the Four Winds, Donald Trump was unmasked as the destroyer and his order to deploy the national guard to California precisely at the time God indicated the beginning of the outpouring of the last seven planetary plagues confirms it. California continues to suffer under frequent, severe wildfires, and Trump’s deportation policies are so out of hand that even many long-time, good-standing American Citizens are not secure. Civil war is in the air—and while these troubles may have begun especially in California, it is not localized there. Immigration raids are taking place throughout the (especially southern) states and natural disasters are also prevalent, like in Texas, where unprecedented flash flooding has taken a mournful toll of lives.

This may also be a sample of the falling of the cities described in the seventh bowl of wrath (in which time, these seven last planetary plagues are being poured out):

And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath. (Revelation 16:19)

A Plague on the Mediterranean

The night after Jupiter, the second planetary plague, crossed the galactic equator on June 12, Israel began its war against Iran, which has been threatening the mediterranean nation with annihilation for decades.

And the second angel poured out his vial upon the [Mediterranean] sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea. (Revelation 16:3)

This attack from Israel put the middle east on edge with escalating tension and destruction. The sea also represents populous areas. We saw that nations like Great Britain were ready to join the war against Iran. Netanyahu may have started the war, but it cannot be contained between those two nations. Iran has allies that are ready to join the fight against the hated Zionist Israel. And don’t think that Trump’s declaration of peace will hold for long. It just provides both sides with a respite to regroup and redouble their efforts to more effectively accomplish their purposes. This attack serves as a catalyst for the end having stirred the hornets’ nest involving even a nuclear threat.

A Plague on the Rivers of Eden

Given the setting of this war with Iran, the third plague unfolded exactly as we anticipated, when on June 21 as the sun crossed the galactic equator, Trump (usurping the position of the sun leaving Orion’s club) directed a surprise attack, as he has threatened, on Iran. This put the entire world on edge for the major escalation that U.S. involvement in the war implies.

And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood. (Revelation 16:4)

In a study of the third trumpet, we found that “the rivers and fountains”^[2] of Eden pointed precisely to Iran. The symbolism was very clear! This U.S. attack on Iran is the point of no return for the world. With this attack, the sun has gone out of his solstice chamber^[3] as an omen of what this dreadful day/year will bring upon the world. In this setting, a conversation takes place in the verses for this plague, foretelling of the blood that “they” would drink as a result.

And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus. For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy. And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments. (Revelation 16:5-7)

It is important to understand that the plagues are not one-time events, but ongoing issues that begin at a definite time. These plagues are not over but just beginning. The issues that develop from these plagues will continue to fuel conflict in varying degrees until the final conflagration.

Trump’s Plague

The fourth plague was marked by the astronomical new moon crossing the galactic equator on June 25, 2025. This was a special date in multiple ways, one of which was already mentioned with respect to the Great and Marvelous Sign. In connection with the plagues, which seem to highlight the various escalations of conflict and war, June 25 points to the developments after the US attack on Iran.

Several things happened at that time. Not only did Iran block the International Atomic Energy Agency from any further monitoring of their nuclear program on June 25, but reports had begun to emerge suggesting that Iran’s facilities were not “completely and fully obliterated” after all. Various news agencies reported that it was but a relatively minor setback for Iran. This fell upon Trump like water on a hot frying pan! Calling for reporters to be fired over it, he denounced them in the harshest terms. Experienced analysis, however, shows that Iran was certainly less affected than Trump would lead the public to believe. After all, we have exposed him as the man of sin, a prodigious liar.

Trump’s image as the powerful peacemaker is at stake. He wants to portray himself as the strong man who goes in to do business and leaves with a job well done. He even compared his attack on Iran to Hiroshima and Nagasaki,^[4] suggesting that with his decisive attack, he ended the war. Then he brokered a ceasefire between Israel and Iran and managed to get them to heed it. The world hailed his peacemaking ability, but the Bible gives a different perspective, because true peace is far from these liars:

For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. (1 Thessalonians 5:3)

Keep in mind that the text of the fourth plague not only says that it was poured out on the sun, but that the sun, in turn, scorched men:

And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire. (Revelation 16:8)

Also on June 25, Trump was at the NATO summit, where its Secretary General referred to him as “Daddy”,^[5] signifying the role in which they view him. Within a short time, they all agreed to increase their defense spending by around 150% from less than 2% to a uniform 5% GDP!^[6] Compare to Germany’s 2017 defense budget of 1.2% GDP when Trump first complained to the uncomfortable NATO leaders.^[7] But money talks! “Daddy” sun turned up the temperature on his allies to redirect a significant amount from their economies to mutual defense. This will likely lead to great scorching with military fire rather than the pursuit of peace, as Brazil’s president Lula has already expressed.

Note that NATO’s primary purpose is to defend the West from Russia, so this points to the West’s involvement in the Ukraine-Russia war, which could expand to Europe at Putin’s will, given their open supply line of weapons to Ukraine. Trump also renewed his commitment to send weapons to Ukraine after a brief pause.

On multiple fronts, this plague relates to escalation of nuclear conflict. Iran has a newfound justification for quickly developing nuclear weapons in secret so they can defend themselves, and Trump’s successful demands to dramatically increase NATO’s budget point to growing tension with the Russian nuclear power.

The Three Moon Plagues

In the series of seven planetary plagues, three of them are moons, with the first of them being Trump’s plague as already discussed above. These moons serve a special role in the prophetic fulfillment by marking the conclusion of each of the three hours of the triplicated seventh bowl of wrath, when God remembers Babylon’s iniquities. Therefore, these moons relate to the fall of Babylon described in Revelation 18. These three hours are outlined as follows:

There is a fascinating detail that is easy to overlook in the description of these three hours. The first two passages describe what will happen, while the third one describes what is happening:

First Hour:

And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning, (Revelation 18:9)

Second Hour:

And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more: (Revelation 18:11)

Third Hour:

…And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off, And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city! (Revelation 18:17-18)

This change of tense is a clear indication that during the first two hours, no great weeping or lamenting will take place. However, things that transpire in earlier hours will be met again in the third hour as their ramifications are felt with greater intensity and they see, still “afar off”, the smoke of Babylon by the end of the third hour. But when does the smoke of Babylon’s burning finally ascend? There is an astronomical picture that tells of fire and smoke together. It is the time of the astronomical new moon, when the black, lunar “smoke” is seen near the solar fire! Consider also that old-testament prophecy against the rebellious nation who would not repent:

They [apostate Israel] have dealt treacherously against the Lord: for they have begotten strange children: now shall a month [new moon] devour them with their portions. (Hosea 5:7)

We see the smoke of the new moon and its fire both at a very precise (and dangerous) position—the scepter of the King of kings, the fierce Lion of the tribe of Judah!

And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. (Revelation 19:15)

There is much more to be said about the signs surrounding this pivotal moment, but this will be presented in another article. Please join our Alnitak Newsletter in Telegram, where it will be announced.

The Lord is looking for those who are searching for the truth and look to Him when their foundations shake, but most just villainize God. He has long called His people—those who could hear His voice—to come out of Babylon, not to feel her plagues as she falls.

For each hour of the fall of Babylon, the concluding moon plague tells us about the ultimate response of those hurt by it, and whether they repented. Just keep in mind that the plagues are ongoing, and their fulfillment is not yet complete. So far, we’ve just seen the beginning of them, but soon—when the full effects of these plagues are felt—they will begin to blaspheme God:

This unique selection of plagues, based solely on the sequence of the heavenly bodies, are the only plagues that mention blasphemy or repentance, solidifying the relationship to the hours of Babylon’s fall. When the seventh planetary plague is poured out, the time for repentance passes and Jesus rescues His redeemed, so there is no longer need to check for repentance. It is done.

As this time continues to unfold, there are several prophecies that are being fulfilled, as you can already see from what has been shared here. Another one is the prophecy of the second woe, which is described in Revelation 11 in the story of the two witnesses. Three remarkable objects have flown through the midst of heaven into our solar system in recent years with a warning related to the message the two witnesses gave from our “Lord of interstellar space.”^[8] The third was just discovered—during this seventh bowl—and brings a solemn message. We will be sharing much more about this amazing story of the two witnesses and the interstellar objects, but for now, we invite you to be watchful on July 12, especially. That day is highly significant in relation to the two witnesses and Daniel 12, and we expect that these prophecies will then reach major milestones in fulfillment, so be alert to what happens on that day!

God does not want anyone to be unaware of the spiritual significance of events and the role and actions of world leaders like Trump. Don’t be deceived by their lies! It is not a time of peace but Babylon is being given her just retribution incrementally, leaving a narrow way for you to flee. Come out of her before the fierceness of God’s wrath is executed.
